Oh dear - we appear to have upset Ted Nugent

Conservative rocker blames left-wing detractors for Indian tribe canceling show

"They literally have an army assigned to destroy Ted Nugent," Nugent told Radio.com. "To call me a racist is a clear act of desperation. Because everybody knows I'm not a racist! My [former] bass player Johnny Gunnel happens to be a black guy. My [former] bass player Marco Mendoza was born in Mexico! Are you kiddin' me? I pay tribute to Martin Luther King in my songs, I've always said my music is a direct result of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, and all the black musical heroes of my life."

"These sick, sick, stoned, hygiene-challenged Michael Moore fans, they call in and complain that I'm a racist, they claim I'm a pedophile, that I dodged the draft," he said. "They call all the promoters, they call all the venues, they call all my sponsors, every day. Meanwhile, what am I doing? I'm going to rock my ass off tonight. And tomorrow night. And the next night. I'm having the greatest tour of my life and I'm going to have — I promise you — the greatest hunting season of my life. So I have created the abject fear in the left of how effective I am."

Besides the fact that we kinda wanted to make it home, and being saddled with a cowardy chickenhawk would have worsened the odds of that.

And I gotta say that even under field combat conditions after living out in the jungle for a month, our hygiene was still far better than Ted's.

Didn't dodge the draft with his shitty pants?

Hasn't publicly expressed a preference for underage females?

Hasn't said racially charged, unrepeatable things about President Obama?

Hasn't suggested the South should've won the Civil War?

Isn't beloved by the KKK?

I could go on, but it would break the internet.

Never mind, we've almost brought Pig Boy down and we can do the same for Teddy Boy given a little more time.

Frankly I favor running all the RWNJs out of town. It isn't like they're redeemable or anything.

appears to be upset by everything on the Earth. It's because he is disturbed. Anybody that preys on young girls and shits his pants and wears them for weeks isn't all there.

He wouldn't know lack of upset without therapy, which he really should get.

Some people it can't help. He's not at all troubled by what he's doing. He believes he's a hero and others are the cause of everything bad that happens to him, not his own actions.

What he needs is a world where opinions like his are seen as worthy of pity and summarily ignored.

Still high with rock 'n' roll thrills from seeing Queen + Adam Lambert (Brian and Roger=1/2 of Queen) two weeks ago on their North American tour. They're continuing to Japan, Oz and NZ. There's even a Google spreadsheet quantifying their audience and earnings so far!!

Can Nugent name the soldier who died in Vietnam taking his place?

Tell you what Teddy. While my president is doing all he can to make
my life better, my planet less polluted, and hammer out a better
future for my family, you, and the pack of right wing traitors you
hang with call him (and me) names, and oppose him / us in every
way.

In Ted Nugent's world we would all be slaves to the 1%, and
live in the wasteland of Road Warrior.

Go kill some endangered species Teddy. Like we needem' right?
To call Ted Nugent human feces is an insult to poop.

Suddenly got Pants shat fever

Well, the first time that I lost control of those bowels
Was around about four
When it comes to shooting targets that shoot back
I'd rather shit in my drawers

Cause I'll get Pants shat fever
Pants shat fever
I got some reeking Pants shat fever
Pants shat fever

It's nothin' dangerous
I feel no pain
I've got the doo-doo train
You know you got it when you, you're allegedly going insane
It makes a grown man cry and smell bad, oh won't you piss my bed

Well, I stain the whities with the grunt of my ass
They're getting messes from me
They know just where to go when they need their loaded diaper man
They know I'm doin' it to flee

I give them Pants shat fever
Pants shat fever
It's smellin bad, Pants shat fever

he's just pissed that people bring them up.

Personally, whether Nugent dodged the draft either though bad hygiene or student deferment (his explanation) is beside the point. THe only thing that should matter is that he refused to serve.

As such, for him to berate or challenge anyone else patriotism (or lack thereof) is the most obnoxious thing I find about him.
